According to the latest figures from the Nepalese Government, 7365 people have been killed and 14 355 have been injured (National Emergency Operation Center: 15:00 local time). Bhaktapur, Dhading, Dolakha, Gorkha, Kathmandu, Kavre, Lalitpur, Makwanpur, Nuwakot, Okhaldhunga, Ramechhap, Rasuwa, Sindhuli and Sindhupalchok remain priority districts for health assistance. As of 3 May 2015, a total of 32 002 patients have been treated in different hospitals in and outside the Kathmandu valley and 4460 have been admitted to hospital. More than 1200 patients were referred from different camps and districts to hospitals for specialized services. Temporary field hospitals have been established in Bhaktapur, Chhauni, Lagankhel, Sinamangal and Singhadurbar area in the Kathmandu valley and in Sindhupalchowk Kavre, Gorkha, Nuwakot and Rasuwa districts outside the valley with the help of different medical teams and support received from Bhutan, Canada, China, Czech Republic, France (MSF), Germany, India, Israel, Japan, Norway, Pakistan, Qatar Red Cross, Thailand and Turkey (as of 3 May 2015) according to the Ministry of Health and Population (MOHP) official report. A rapid assessment of the availability of reproductive health services in the most affected districts shows that emergency obstetrics and newborn care services remain disrupted in most districts. Services for antiretroviral therapy, sexually transmitted infections, family planning and the clinical management of gender-based violence have been suspended. A total of 109 foreign medical teams (FMTs) are registered with the MOHP/WHO coordination team, and over 90 have been deployed to the field (as of 19:00 local time today). Several of the large military medical teams will withdraw in the next few days, and assessments are being made of any potential gaps their departure will leave. The National Public Health Laboratory is testing water samples collected from Gorkha, Kathmandu and Lalitpur.
